Here are Standards for Correct Dryer Vent Installation:

Do not Use Foil or Vinyl Vents:

  • They can be a fire hazard
  • The rough interior allows greater lint build up
  • They can quickly become damaged, lacerated or split in the course of cleaning
  • If a dryer fire should develop the plastic or vinyl supplies fuel to enable flames to spread quickly
  • Flexible foil vents can be smashed behind the dryer to reduce airflow
  • Dryer ducts of substandard product can sag with low spots permitting water and lint to collect

Never Use PVC Vents:

  • These too can create a fire hazard
  • Static in PVC venting can permit lint to adhere to the inside of the vent walls, which can mix with the expelled water during a regular dry cycle, creating sludge and a higher risk of a fire
  • PVC can sweat when warm damp air travels through the cool smooth surface which can permit lint to amass and densify and, in turn, make cleanings more difficult
  • It takes longer for PVC to heat up so water can remain in a vapor form inside the duct and merge with lint build up to generate sludge throughout the vent

Only use Rigid Metal Venting:

  • This is code compliant material for dryer vents
  • The smooth interior finish will allow lint to pass through freely to lessen build up
  • It is graded the most safe for containing a spark from inside the dryer flames from spreading
